I wonder if there's any demand for a story that contains slavery as the main element, but is relatively 'clean' (stress on 'relatively') where sex is concerned? At least for the first few chapters or so? Because most of the time I hear people saying that BDSM stories -are- for people to get off on, and thus the writer shouldn't put in any more detail/plot than necessary for the sex to be credible. However, for me, I find that subtle hints of sex in the whole story is far more interesting, than for the whole story to be full of it. No offense to anyone who thinks the opposite, of course, everyone is different after all. Just wondering if anyone might think the same as I do?
I would be inclined to read it. IN fact, one of my stories had almost no sex at all. It was called "The Wish". One of the comments I had on it was something to the effect of - on a sex site like this you should have more sex.

Needless to say I disagree entirely with the reviewer. I do not think BDSM is necessarily inclusive of sex just as I don't believe that D/s is necessarily inclusive of BDSM. A lot of folks disagree with this statement but I have involved myself, primarily, in relationships heavy on the D/s and less so on the BDSM.

Write your tale - include the same caveat that I included...that there would be little sex involved. It may get poor reviews from those who want sex, but those who understand a good story may enjoy it all the more.
